List of differentially abundant pathway-classes (identified between Cluster-1a, Cluster-1b and Cluster-2). Significantly different pathway classes were identified using Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test (with Benjamini-Hochberg corrected p-values < 0.001 at a False Discovery Rate of 0.0001) coupled with a bootstrap approach. Pathway-classes with significantly different median abundances in at least 99% of iterations are shown in this table. The last column titled ‘Vikodak Pathway Exclusion Cut-off (PEC) threshold’ indicates the PEC value thresholds at which the pathway-class was reported by Vikodak. Green indicates presence and red indicates absence.
